Welcome!

My name, Karin, was pretty common when I was growing up...just not the spelling. Unless you are of German heritage like I am. So, I have spent my entire life answering the question, "What is your name"?... With, "Karin...with an "i"! Who knew it would come in handy all these years later when I went to name my blog.

Every Bunny


  Hi Everyone,

I fully intended to make another St. Patrick's Day card this past weekend, but I came across Leonard the pig wearing his cute bunny ears, so I made an Easter card instead.  

I stamped and colored up a bunch of Easter Eggs with bows and attached the panel to a piece of yellow paper that I tore along the one side.  I feel like that torn paper was a big card technique a few years ago, so why not bring it back :)

The card background was dry embossed with eggs as well, and I added the Happy Easter Everybunny Greeting on a strip.  Leonard was colored and fussy cut and added with some dimensional foam tape.



Looking at my finished card, it's hard to not want to add an embellishment of some sort.  Glitter, gems, or....?  Well, I managed to stop myself and call it done for a change.  I need to let the cute stamps speak for themselves!

Happy stamping Friends!

Cheers!


  Hi Everyone,

Happy Fat Tuesday! While I don't have a Mardi Gras card to share, I do have one celebrating St. Patrick's Day and all things green.  


I made a background by stamping half using the Shamrock Background and then dry embossing over the whole thing, adding a strip of matching glitter down the center.  


The Small Beer Mugs were stamped, colored and fussy cut before I added them to my die cut circles.  I did have to use a mirror image stamp, so that I could have the mugs facing each other in a toast.  I added the cheers portion using the Best Year Cheers Greeting stamp.

Normally I would use the Brewtiful Day Greeting for a Halloween card with a potion on it, but I thought it worked with my green beer for St. Patrick's Day too.  

Thanks for stopping by and may your celebrations be happy ones!

Happy Valentine's Day


Hi Everyone,

Being pressed for time this week, I wasn't able to make any new Valentines, so I thought this was the perfect chance to highlight a couple of my favorite cards from years past, made with DRS Designs stamps. 

This card's post can be found here, but here are the links to the stamps:









And this card's post can be found here, and the links to the stamps are below:








Here's hoping your Valentine's Day is extra sweet!

Sweet Valentine


Hi Everyone,

I love the Flower Hearts image and wanted it to match the Have a Sweet Valentine's Greeting, so I embossed the background, and stamped the Flower Hearts, adding the fussy cut candy hearts.




I added a strip of stamped Scatterd Hearts behind the image and sentiment.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Karin
